under the bus it makes sense to do it with him. keep in mind, all these people have lawyers whose job it is to defend them, not the white house. now five different teams that might have different agendas that is unprotecting my client, i m not necessarily protecting other four people who are in this case as white house they already don t like each other. exactly. even if you look at the substance of conversations, jared kushner, meeting with the head after bank, russian bank sanctioned by the united states, substance of these conversations is also very important where this even adoption line question that they are talking about is retaliatory by putin in response to u.s. sanctions. we are still getting back to the idea of u.s. sanctions against russia. it is always about money and sanctions. russians know what they want. i don t know about clinton well, trump people wanted to win and maybe some money. roundtable is sticking with us.
immediate politics of trying to stop or start this bill this week and get to the substance, that s a down the line question for next month at the earliest if they finish it this week. the political reality republicans are grappling with and karoun hits it exactly is the idea of deficit reduction, appealing to many fiscal conservatives, but really sort of, you know, a generalized amorphous idea, the deficit is big, we need to get it down, important for the future generation. 22 million fewer people having coverage is a much more easily understandable hit you in your home, know someone who loses coverage issue, and therefore much more politically powerful, so the problem is the carrot for republicans here is teenie, and the stick is huge politically speaking. it s a big dollar amount but health care doesn t speak to

president-elect, says some may be terrorists what do you say to him? we have meantime vetted them properly and our services are very vigilant. they have been detected islamic cells that were active there. so we are much better in control than last year. one bot up line question. with europe, with britain now out of the eu, how concerned are you, the entire eu, eventually is going to collapse? no. and that will not happen. but we have to make sure that europe stays coherent and resilient against challengers from the east. like a more assertive russia from the south, like instabilities in the middle east and in north africa and the lead verse to get together and i think they know what s at stake, and at stake is a peace project in europe, eradicating war and conflict from the european continent and delivering unprecedented prosperity. that is what the european union did for the citizens. we ll see what happens.
